Chapter 184 (1/2)

”It can’t be considered as that; the main reason was because of a guy named Yang KongQun. I'm not sure where he received the news from, but he actually came over early in the morning to pay a visit to my Third Uncle. Seeing them so friendly with each other and having so much to say, I just secretly slipped out!” Yu BingYan giggled as she stuck her tongue out.

Ling Tian then understood the situation. For someone who had occupied Sky Bearing for decades, when someone of high stature like Yu ManTian swaggered in so openly, it would be weird if Yang KongQun didn't receive the news! If he had received the news, but didn't come to visit, then it would be even stranger!

However, the presence of Yu ManTian actually gave Yang KongQun a breather! By visiting Yu ManTian at the first sign of him, it raised the suspicion that the Yu and Yang families were working together. Given how Yu ManTian was such a simple character, all that was needed was for Yang KongQun to egg him into disrupting the negotiations between their families, and he would actually go through with that!

As for the Ling Family under similar suspicions, it was an even hotter potato. Even without the Yu Family's daughter, standing by their side was someone from Beyond Heavens! Even if one were to give NanGong TianLong the guts of a hundred men, he would still not dare to touch even a hair of the Ling Family!

With apprehensions towards the Yang Family, and unable to move against the Ling Family, then what did the NanGong Family come here for? Sending an expert over to investigate, but then finding out he couldn't even make a move, did NanGong TianLong’s son die for nothing?

Ling Tian could already imagine the depression which NanGong TianLong was facing! He couldn't help but snicker to himself.

”Ah? Sister Ling Chen, what’s wrong with you today? Why does your face look so terrible?” Yu BingYan cast a look towards Ling Chen, who was red from head to neck. She was desperately looking for a hole to hide in, but it so happened that Yu BingYan had walked over to her in concern, catching her wrist and measuring her pulse, just like a miniature version of a divine doctor!

Ling Chen was distressed and embarra.s.sed, so she turned to Ling Tian with begging eyes, only to see that he was acting like a bystander and was watching the drama unfold. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Even Ling Chen herself didn't think that although she had become a young married woman, she was still unbearably shy! She had the feeling that everyone she knew could discover her secret at any time, and this sort of exquisite maiden feeling could not be put into words, nor understood. Most likely, even Ling Chen herself did not understand why her heart was so muddled!

Xue Leng and Xue Fei could be considered wily old foxes with decades of experience, and with one look they could tell what happened. Yesterday, Ling Chen was still a pure and innocent girl, but now it seemed otherwise! Looking at her shy and bashful att.i.tude, it couldn't be more obvious, and both men’s eyes lit up as they deduced the reason. Both of them couldn't help but laugh at Ling Tian, shooting him the thumbs up! On their faces was a weird smile only other men could decipher!

Ling Tian rolled his eyes but felt that their actions were really amusing. He flung his head, posing in an otherworldly style, a satisfied smile on his lips.

The Xue brothers were indeed twins, their chemistry reaching the stage of telepathy as they both changed their smiles to an expression of disdain and raised their middle fingers… facing Ling Tian’s proud face...

Just as Ling Tian was feeling satisfied, Ling Chen embarra.s.sed beyond words, Yang KongQun elated that he had found a strong backer, and the NanGong Family about to hit the wall in depression, a man leisurely walked in from the Southern Gate of the Sky Bearing City. From his robes to his shoes, to the scarf as well as the sword scabbard on his back, all of them were snow white in color! He looked as though he was in mourning!

However, such a person was actually wearing a blood-red belt! And there was even a section that wasn't tucked in, and streamed freely behind him… making him blatantly eye-catching!

Wearing the outfit of such a lunatic, if it was someone else, it would have already triggered a wave of laughter. However, as this person walked in leisurely, the street packed full of people did not even dare to crack a smile!

While his outfit was amusing, his face was anything but amusing! An icy cold face, emaciated as though he had just risen from the grave; grey eyes that looked as though they had died, and every person that he walked past felt a cold gust of air around them, giving them gooseb.u.mps! Even the typically lawless soldiers of the city gates, upon seeing him, could not help but feel a wave of chill air, and with this feeling of dread ingrained so deeply into their hearts, he could actually stroll in without anyone asking about his origins!

The crowd just stared as the strange man leisurely walked into the city, disappearing amidst the sea of people…

Just as Ling Tian had suspected, NanGong TianLong was currently having a fit in his inn! NanGong TianHu had already prepared the troops and soldiers and was ready to go and settle scores with Yang KongQun, and at the same time to negotiate using his son’s death to obtain some benefits. However, the newly arrived Third Master of the Yu Family agreed to an invitation from Yang KongQun to stay at his house as a guest! Then wasn’t he counting his chickens before they had hatched? This angered NanGong TianLong so much that he was unable to let loose his emotions, and nearly fainted in anger!

Although it was only the Third Master Yu ManTian, who could calculate what the millennia-long, top Great Family of the Heavenly Star Continent was planning? No matter the plan, it was definitely something the NanGong Family couldn't afford to interfere with! Especially with the famous foul temper of the Third Master! If they were to approach bearing arms while he was inside, wouldn't that be digging their own graves? Let’s not even talk about not being a match for the Third Master. Even if they were, they wouldn’t dare pick a fight with him!

Stopping the equally furious NanGong TianHu from proceeding, NanGong TianLong had a heavy expression, as though thunderclouds were gathering in his face! It was only after a long while that he spoke, ”Cancel all our plans temporarily.”

”Big brother, why? Why can’t we take revenge for Le’er? So what if the Yang Family have the Yu Family backing them? While the Yu Family might have a lot of influence, they surely have to listen to reason, right? Furthermore, it’s just one Yu ManTian, why should we be afraid? Just this little brother will be able to take care of him!” NanGong TianHu expressed his disapproval.
